I train very hard, either rowing on the cross trainer or running. Not only do you feel tired afterwards but it relaxes you, it completely clears the head. But to sort things out I also like to walk.

Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That's when it's so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.

Work hard, think fast and you'll last.

A pit bull is like a fighter. Every so often it needs to taste blood.

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.

If somebody had told me in the 1980s that Gerry Adams would shake hands with Ian Paisley or Peter Robinson I would have said put that man in a white suit and lock him up in a padded cell.

What I would say about Barney Eastwood is that when our relationship worked, it worked extremely well. He had a lot of strengths as a promoter and a manager.

I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.

I wanted to bring people together, and most importantly not feel threatened when they came to watch me box.

I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.

The parts of me that hurt the worst want me to write something for them, but I can't. I don't know what to say. I'm lost in all this sadness, and so are they.

Hang onto that goal and you do what you have to do to make it happen.

It's in an inland sea that the river of my life ended.

It is very scary to think mechanically about someone you know. That means that the second time you meet a person is useless. Which I tend to believe anyway.

If you're not in the mood, you can't do that stuff right.

We are not saved by nations or by churches or by families, but as individuals, through a personal interest in a personal Saviour.

I had a strong identity in mind but then of course I had to trust Didier Dubot's expertise. They've been doing jewelry for so many years.

Cloud is about how you do computing, not where you do computing

I wasn't really a performer by temperament.

Taj Mahal was built as a team; without a team, it was a far dream.
